That's the problem with having a signature style. Everyone takes the piss.

Quite enjoyed the mash of Mario and BoC myself. Yes, they're taking the piss, but it's a clever parody rather than mean-spirited (IMO).

I think this is my favourite thing they've done.

I'm not really a Boards of Canada fan but it's excellent.

As a fan of weird mash-ups, I really want the YouTube comments to come true:

Looking forward to the "Music Has The Right To Plumbers" album

I hope it is as good as Koopa's Harvest or Bowsergaddi

The track "Peach for the Dead" was good in Koopa's Harvest.

Get on it, makers of dream/nightmare music!

And if we're singing the praises of the original/true BOC, Hell Interface's "Soylent Night" comes into my head around this time of year. Gob bless V/Vm.

Everything you do is a raccoon, Mario.

Well, I meant 'taking the piss' in its more light-hearted sense. I'm actually glad BoC has engendered some artists (Bibio, Tycho) who create good music in their style. And this clip was fun.
